Lich Form is a potent Ultimate, particularly in the hands of Power Based Necromancers as it cleaves opponents struck making it nearly impossible to come to the aid of a fallen ally as it’s cleave will inevitably reduce you to Downstate aswell.

This coupled with the various trait/sigil/rune Procs can devastate those unaware when a Necro takes this form.

But all is not lost!

Engineers, have some decent ways to come out ahead of this seemingly one sided battle depending on your specific Build:

•First of all, this form lasts for 30 seconds. When soloing a Necro in this form if in open ground and ill equipped it is best to flee and regroup.
•The Lich Form will grant the Necromancer Stability. Usually lacking any other boon this makes removal of this boon a breeze. If you have a means to strip boons Lich form is one of the easiest to strip opening the Lich up for a CC train. (Mine Field/Throw Mine make excellent boon removers)
•If useing a shield you can comically reflect several of their projectiles back at them doing fantastic damage and making them hesitate in spamming.
•Most importantly, cover. When seeing a Necromancer take this Form immidiately scan for cover/line of sight to hide behind. The Lich Forms movement speed is sluggish at best making it very easy to kite giving you the oppertunity to pepper the Lich with conditions from the safety of obstacles. This can be the safest way to maintain pressure, made even more effective by moves like (Flame Jet, Blow Tortch, Blunderbuss, Fumigate ect) as these moves can hit foes through walls.
•Keep your distance! Although the Lich Form comes equipped with several bizarre skills most Necros will forgo these for the sheer damage of their Deathly Claws projectile. The projectile packs a wallop but can be dodged as well as avoided by “Juking” the projectile. Made easier by distance you simply strafe hard in a direction and then quickly alternate directions as the projectiles are enroute. Granted this is a more advanced technique with much more risk/reward it will allow you to keep up pressure while negating the Necromancers Ultimate.
•Keep in mind while in Lich Form the Necromancer loses access to all their Utility Skills and most importantly his Heal. Taking advantage of this can usually allow you to pressure he Necromancer out of Lich Form early, so that they may heal.
•Immobilize can work well if you are quick on your feet, as the Immobilize condition prevents foes from pivoting and the Necromancer cannot fire its projectiles at you while you stay behind the Lich!

These are just some words of advice I hope they assist you in your fellow Lich Reapings.
